You just told me everything I need to know about you. 👍

I am in the same boat. I have to concentrate really hard, and focus on bits and pieces of anything I try to visualize in my head; never the whole image. e.g. an apple is usually red, green, yellow. It is sort of roundish, where the bottom may be more flat than the top. It has a brown stem at the top. etc.

I have recently discovered that when I use CBD gummies, my continuous internal monologue shuts off. I still have it, but it’s shorter and less specific, and sometimes I feel like I don’t have it (or remember it 🤷‍♂️). It’s nice because it makes me less tense and stressed. I live moment by moment and only in the present tense.

I don’t know if it’s related, but I also have cPTSD, and that does dramatically affect how you think.

How so?

We the people are the victims of a two party system that suppresses our will due to corporate interests. The dems are not innocent in this problem. They are the lesser of two evils, but they are still considered evil (e.g., Kyrsten Sinema, John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer, et all). Meaningful change by us normal people is intentionally difficult; not impossible, I admit, and people Like Mamdani are helping, but the bar is set very high and very expensive.

“…[my] choosing…” is blaming me (and every American) for things I fundamentally have no control over. I do what I can locally, but AOC, Mamdani, and Bernie I am not.

It also really sucks when a member of congress from some other state/district pushes and enacts some imposing change that affects people in other states/districts, and the people in the other states/districts can only write letters/make calls to their reps and if they’re lucky they may receive back some canned form letter written by a staffer. I’m projecting on that one, but I suspect my state and district aren’t unique in that problem.

So yeah, I ask again, how so?

Oh. It looks like I had to refresh the post for it to show up. My apologies. 😊

No worries. Please put that in your post and not just a comment. It’s a housekeeping thing.

And for what it’s worth, I like your art style. The shading is awesome.

You need to provide artist credit. Even if you’re the artist. Please edit your post.

Bringing attention to a problem is fine (even though I’d wager we’re all painfully aware of this one already). But blaming the victims is not. So there’s that.

No more than you, who does nothing but complain loudly.

Our PTO has done this, but from a timing perspective it was a logistics nightmare.

So instead of blaming the system that gave us two parties, you blame the voters who had no choice but to vote for two parties?

~Sounds solid. 👍~

Here’s a silly idea: cut out two strips of paper for the sizes in question, and wear them on your watch wrist. See which one feels better to you.

I’m feeling a little called out tbh.

Third places that aren’t bars.

Living the dream!

You do realize you’re commenting in what essentially is a document that we created to explain why we banned the currently banned artists?

We do our best to include the community in major decisions such as this. But keep in mind that some decisions will be made via the mod team, and if/when necessary the .world admin team.

While we hope to make the right decisions* that the majority of the community will agree with, we accept that not everyone will be happy with what we do or say.

Re our subcontracted despotism: anyone who does not like how this community is run is free to (respectfully) voice their concerns (such as you did just now), and if that does not satisfy their concerns, they are welcome to create their own subcontracted-despotic community and run it how they see fit (obviously within the confines of whichever ToS applies to the instance is they create it on).

So was I. You’re good. 😊

Because if her convenant would be pulling spells on someone 24/7, that person wouldn’t be able to function.

So, it is actually working, huh?

Count your blessings. That’s seriously awesome.

~For funsies go buy those housebreaking pee pads for pets, and leave one right by the door. When you leave make sure your girlfriend is standing nearby so when she asks why that’s there, you can tell her it’s so when she *waves hands* “does things”, the pad will catch it for her.~
